contents Description of two new species of Haliplectus Cobb, 1913 (Nematoda, Plectida, Haliplectidae) from mangrove areas of Sandspit backwater, Karachi, Pakistan. Waheed, Samina Decraemer, Wilfrida Kazi, Nasira Tariq, Rajput Muhammed Iqbal, Erum Animals Female Male Pakistan Body Size Animal Distribution Animal Structures Organ Size Wetlands Nematoda Haliplectus shahinae n. sp. and H. sandspitensis n. sp. two free-living marine nematodes of the family Haliplectidae Chitwood, 1951 collected from mangrove areas of Sandspit backwater, Karachi, Pakistan, are being described and illustrated. Both new species belong to a group of species characterized by the presence of a bipartite basal esophageal bulb with striated or unstriated valve plates. H. shahinae n. sp. is characterized by its comparatively shorter body length (0.4-0.44 mm); annulated cuticle; amphidial fovea at 6-9 µm from the anterior end; bipartite basal bulb with unstriated valve plates; reproductive system mono-prodelphic with reflexed ovary, presence of post uterine sac and vulva at 52-57% of body length and tail short conoid, straight, 1.5-1.8 times anal body width long. H. sandspitensis n. sp. is characterized by more than 1 mm body length (1.0-1.2 mm); annulated cuticle; amphidial fovea at 8-12 µm from the anterior end; bipartite basal bulb with striated valve plates; didelphic reproductive system, with the vulva at 40-47% of body length and tail elongated, conoid, 1.4-2.2 times anal body width long. A dichotomous identification key is provided for the valid species of Haliplectus Cobb, 1913.
